Right then, That's it from the coverage of this game. The action in the Road Safety T20 World Series continues as England Legends take on West Indies Legends in a short while. Do switch tabs for another enthralling contest. Cheers!

Kyle Mills wins the Man of the Match award for his excellent spell. He says that this game was a lot better than their last game and they register their first win. Adds that it makes them happy and it's good to be back after his retirement in 2015. Ends by saying that he loves the changing room vibes and it feels good to play cricket again.

Ross Taylor, the captain of New Zealand Legends says that the toss was a big factor. Adds that they started really well with the bat and felt 99 could be chased down. Mentions that Bennett and Mills set the tone with their bowling performance at the start. Tells that Scott Styris did his hamstring after taking the catch and jokingly says he will join the commentary team from the next game. Ends by saying the next game is a big game as whenever they play against India it is a big game and says that there are a few players who have not played against Sachin and they are looking forward to it.

Mohammad Sharif, the skipper of Bangladesh Legends says that the toss didn't go their way. Adds that their batters were good as compared to their last game and they need to learn from their mistakes. Further says that their bowlers didn't bowl on the right lengths and that cost them the game. Ends by saying that they need to focus on their next game against Australia Legends.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the innings, Bangladesh Legends lost the toss and were put to bat. They lost some quick wickets early on, but Alok Kapali and Dhiman Ghosh stitched a solid stand to take the score to 98 runs at the end of 11 overs. It was a much better outing for Bangladesh Legends, as they scored 98 in their previous match as well but took almost 19 overs then. New Zealand Legends were on fire with the ball with Kyle Mills setting the tone with the new ball but they could not keep the run flow in check later on. Later, New Zealand Legends displayed their strength with the bat and got over the line with ease.

New Zealand Legends record their first win of the campaign! Their openers started the chase cautiously. Anton Devcich slipped out early but Dean Brownlie and Jamie How turned up the heat after that. Later, Ross Taylor came in and displayed his magic. He still has it in him and was quick to take the game away from the opposition here.

BANG, BANG! Ross Taylor looked to be in his prime to be honest. He has led his side over the victory line with his aggressive approach at the fag end. New Zealand Legends were dominant from the word go and have won the match convincingly by 8 wickets. Bangladesh Legends could not keep the run rate in check and that took the game away from them.
